1986 Cutlass Brougham window motor replacement
I have a 1986 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham. I just ordered a replacement driver's window motor, are there any hints or warnings for this model? I've changed a motor on a 93 Z28 before and that required drilling out rivets
Any info would be appreciated!

You have to drill out 3 (or 4) 3/4" holes in the sheetmetal inner door to access the motor bolts.
Other method is to modify some cheap wrenches to get into those unusually bad areas. (I heard of doing this but cannot confirm it.)
Other method is to remove entire window regulator, change the motor, reinstall regulator and realign window.
Given all this, just drilling some rivets would be fun...
I assume you tried replacing or bypassing the switch?
Is this a 2 or 4 door?
I have the manual if you get stuck. Also, oldsgmail.com has lots of helpful info.

Since this is a 2-door, this page might help ya'...

Removal and installation of the motor should be similar.
DO support the glass withthe wood blocks as shown, as if it falls, it would be bad.

did the same thing recently on a 1986 cutlass 2-door, I found the dimples , but I had to take the motor out of a 1984 Regal I have as a parts car so I drilled 6 holes before the swap Glad the Regal motor was in good working order Not as tough as I thought it would be
